One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, oregano, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Brush mixture evenly over swordfish steaks and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Brush the grill grates with remaining olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill swordfish steaks 5 to 7 minutes per side until opaque and firm, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Remove from grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
A little kitchen know-how
Let the swordfish marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance herb flavors without overpowering the fish.
Storage & leftovers
Cover and refrigerate leftover grilled swordfish for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes to avoid drying out.
